Are Your Body and Mind Ready?

A long trail hike is a bit different than a hike when your out camping or hitting your local trail. At the end of the day, after 20-30 miles on your frame, your reward is a sleeping bag on or just above the ground. How about that!

Physical fitness becomes a factor in not just preventing injury and soreness. It's also about enjoying the great outdoors to its fullest. A fit body will also lend itself to better sleep, quicker recovery and assist your mental well being.

Begin your trail fitness regimen early and stay consistent. Take advantage of this time by seeing the journey with every weight lifted, and every mile walked, in preparation. Visualize the beautiful vistas, the forested valleys and the chilling breeze of the mountain tops as you train. Take it all in and when you hit the trail head on day one, you will bring with you a body and mindset worthy of this great adventure!
